Improved I/ong Orange. This is an 

 old variety; roots long and of deep orange 

 color. It is not much cultivated in this 

 section, and the flavor is not so fine as that 

 of the two preceding kinds. Valuable for 

 field culture. 



Chantenay Half I^ong. A half long 

 scarlet variety; similar to the Half Long 

 Luc, but thicker. 



Early Scarlet Horn. A short stump- 

 rooted varietv of medium size, very early 

 and of fine flavor. Not cultivated for the 

 market. 



Half I/ong Scarlet French. This is 

 the most popular variety, and extensively 

 grown for the market as well as for family 

 use. It is a little later than the Early Horn, 

 much larger, bright scarlet in color, and of 

 fine flavor. 



Half 1/OtLg I/UC. .An excellent variety 

 from France. It is as early as any previ- 

 ously mentioned, but stump-rooted and 

 larger. Very smooth and of a fine color. 



St. Valerie. Also a French variety, 

 bright red in color; a little larger and longer 

 than the Half Long French, and stronger

 from France, which is of cylindrical shape, 

 very smooth, bright scarlet color, and of

 for the table, and should be more culti-

 crop. Sow thinly and shade during the hot months. When the plants are six inches 

 high, transplant into trenches about four inches deep, nine wide and two and a half feet 

 apart, made very rich by digging in rotten manure. Plants should be from 6 to 8 inches 

 apart. When planted out during the hot months, the trenches require to be shaded, 

 which is generally done by spreading cotton cloth over them; latanniers will answer the 

 same purpose. Celery requires plenty of moisture, and watering with soapsuds, or liquid
